greekmanx

@lilbud man you are awesome the dark theme is amazing and I am patiently (NOT PATIENTLY) waiting for video support and well this will be the best theme ever hard to go to images after you been using video snaps otherwise lilbud sweet theme

Rion

@greekmanx @lilbud I second video support. 😀

lilbud

@Rion @greekmanx I can't get video to show up, I set all of the tags, but still nothing.

lilbud

@meleu The gamelist has 2 entries, 1 for each view, since each has a different template

HurricaneFan

@lilbud can you post your video code and we could try to help you?

@lilbud Do you have your sound turned up? I had the issue where I thought videos weren't working, but it turned out they were playing, but were just behind my background image.

You'll need to remove extra="true" from <image name="background" extra="true"> in order for the background image to go behind the videos.

Here is the video code

<view name="video">
	<image name="md_marquee">
		<pos>0.254 0.202</pos>
		<origin>0.0 0.0</origin>
		<size>0.185 0.327</size>
	</image>
	<video name="md_video">
		<pos>0.254 0.202</pos>
		<origin>0 0</origin>
		<size>0.185 0.327</size>
		<delay>0.0</delay>
		<default>~/resources/default.wma</default>
		<showSnapshotNoVideo>false</showSnapshotNoVideo>
		<showSnapshotDelay>false</showSnapshotDelay>
	</video>
</view>

@lilbud Are you setting background as "extra"??? I told you any extra images are on top of video.

Can you send me or post a copy of your flat.xml? I downloaded the one from github but no video entries there.

Also in that code I see this:

<default>~/resources/default.wma</default>

As far I know wma = windows media audio... so it's not a video, maybe you are trying to play a windows media video? (wmv).

@lilbud I see nothing in there that would stop your videos from showing up. Maybe it's an issue with your gamelist.xml not pointing to your videos correctly?

Also, is this part of core ES now?
<feature supported="carousel">

Last I heard it was just a suggestion. I didn't know anyone had actually made it work.

lilbud

@mattrixk Got it to work, but I would need more time to screw around with it.

I have like 5 different builds of ES installed. Switching between them as needed

Nismo

@lilbud I'll take a look but I still don't understand why are you using audio where must be a video.

lilbud

@Nismo Changed it to a video file, even set a default video

@lilbud I'll help you with this, I have white screnn in all systems.

Also you need to set up the marquees, even if you doesn't want to use marquees in your theme, because it can show on top or other things if somebody have marquees.

If you want marquees place it somewhere, if you don't want marquees, move out of the screen.

Nismo

@lilbud I got it working, marquees and images are on top of videos, i'll fix in a sec and send you the theme with the changes.

sergioad

Looks awesome, reminds me Android and Kodi 17

Nismo

@lilbud Go it working now give me some minutes to place marquees...

lilbud

@Nismo Could you send a Pull Request instead?

Nismo

@lilbud I don't know how to do that, but if you want i can tell you what was the changes.

Here you have: http://www.mediafire.com/file/f9ts8gayc8n8r7c/es-theme-flat-with-video.zip

You need to place marquees better, i let that for you, but now are not on top of video, now are on upper right corner, anyway marquees are on top of nes logo, no space for marquees there.

lilbud

@Nismo Video is still not playing for me
